Nothing is wrong with using HTML in its proper place - creating a webpage. This newsgroup is a part of Usenet, however, which is a plain-text media. Many of us use plain-text news programs and don't see HTML posts, or see all the HTML codes. The point of using plain text is that EVERYONE can read it: those who use Macs, those who use plain-text newsreaders, people using Unix or Linux machines, people using IBM mainframes, people using Windows (whatever version), people on WebTv, people still using DOS....whatever. I, for instance, used to read newsgroups during my lunch hour at work: I used Pine on a Unix machine. No HTML there. Plain text also occupies vastly less space on a drive, and takes less bandwidth to transmit. Pat |
